Hi this is Doris Faye

I am learning about Blogs

Help me identify the photos

To the right, you will see photos that Gatha has collected over the years. Larry scanned them, and I added them to the blog as a Slide Show (to the right). There were a number of faces that I didn't recognize. Please help identify them by clicking on the SlideShow and leaving comments on the pictures you recognize. I'll add the captions as you help me identify them or correct them as needed.

Feel free to leave comments even if the captions are correct. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a couple of words can still add value to a good photo.

Gatha

Ted and Cora are my parents and they didn't have the blessing of knowing any of their grandchildren. It has been a difficult thing to talk about them, because it has been so painful. I wrote a small book about them to tell their grandchildren. That was probably somewhat helpful for some understanding about them, but there is so much more. I hope this will help.

Family in Kanab

Don (Red) is working his winter schedule! He works 4/10's during the winter out of town, where ever they send him to fix and clean up projects. This gives him a little extra spending cash if he watchs his spending! ha ha... This makes it very quiet at home in Kanab since my part time job has been terminated do to sale of the company for where I worked. However this week will be busy as a election judge preparation. We have a new neighbor who is also keeping me busy a couple of times a month making trips to St. George with her. she is a 78y 'ole maid', who is a nice lady. (never married) As for the kids ... our descendants... Our oldest granddaughter just turned 14, and our youngest granddaughter 9 on this month. My life is shared with all our grandkids (9 of them) whom are very special and loving. it is interesting to read about the family. I hope I can share information too.

James Edward (Ted) Bingham

Ted was born in Manassa, Colorado on August 5, 1898. His parents were Jeremiah Edward Bingham and Ada Zoa Jack. He was just 9 years old when both of his parents had died.

When Cora died because of a farming accident, he was left alone with his children. In this picture, you see in the front row: Cora Larue, James Edward (Ted), Doris Faye, and Barbara Ann. In the back row, you see Teddy Leon, Keith Edward, and Gatha.

Cora Emily Dunn Bingham

Cora Emily Dunn was born on 29 July 1908 to Anna Buletta Jensen and Simeon Harmon Dunn in Eastdale, Costilla County Colorado. Her siblings were : Frances Edna, Ethel Leona, Wiliam Oliver, Ruth Carie, Edgar Harmon, Ina, Hazel, Elma, Doris, Loyd Jensen, Keith Melford and Rex Simeon.

Cora grew up with seven sisters and three brothers. Because the girls were first they milked cows, fed chickens , and helped in the fields.
